A U tube differential manometer containing mercury was used to measure the difference of pressures in two pipes containing water. The difference in mercury level is 0.8 m, the level of water in left limb from mercury level to center of the left pipe is 1.9 m and the level of water in right limb from mercury level to center of the left pipe is 0.8 m. Find the head difference in m. S for water = 1, S for mercury 13.6.
